Gogangra is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia.
==Taxonomy== G. viridescens was previously placed in the genus Nangra. In 1998, the genus was given the name Gangra, but this name was already preoccupied by the genus Gangra of lepidopterans, so Gogangra was proposed as a replacement name in 2001. G. laevis was described in 2004.
